Rabbits peering out of a cracked egg give this postcard its particular charm, a playful motif that was a staple of Easter greetings in the early twentieth century. Illustrated cards like this one were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers, especially in the decades before and after 1900, when the postcard was at the height of its popularity as an inexpensive way to send holiday wishes. Many of these designs were printed in bright chromolithography, and the mix of fresh spring imagery with a bit of whimsy reflects how the holiday had become a family and children's celebration by that time. Look closely at the lettering and colors, which often reveal the printing methods and the tastes of the period.
